The Odd Couple is an American multi-camera television sitcom that premiered on February 19, 2015, on CBS.^[1][2] It is the sixth screen production based on the 1965 play written by Neil Simon, following the 1968 film, a 1970 television series, a 1975 Saturday morning cartoon, a 1982 reboot of the 1970 series, and The Odd Couple II, the 1998 sequel to the 1968 film, both starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.

This show stars Matthew Perry (also developing and executive producing the series) as the slovenly Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon as the obsessively-tidy Felix Unger. Perry and Lennon have previously worked together on the film 17 Again. The show was announced in December 2013 and was picked up by CBS as a midseason offering for the 2014–15 season.

The first season concluded on May 14, 2015.^[3] On May 11, 2015, the series was renewed for a second season of 13 episodes which premiered on April 7, 2016.^[4][5][6]

Plot

Felix Unger and Oscar Madison meet at college in the late 1980s, and fate puts them together as roommates: while Felix is extremely neurotic and fussy in contrast to the slovenly and easy-going Oscar, they both become friends quickly. They eventually marry two women very different from themselves (Felix gets hitched to the calm but feisty Ashley, and Oscar settles down with the insecure Gaby).

Years later, Felix, now a neat-freak news writer and photographer, is kicked out by Ashley after twenty years of marriage (having spent eight of them in marriage counseling, with Felix going alone for the last two years) and moves in with Oscar, now a sports talk show host, whose ex-wife Gaby has left him because he was a thoughtless slob. Now both divorcés will have to live in the same apartment and try to get along in spite of their differences.

In the middle of all the hassle about housekeeping, Felix and Oscar attempt to date Casey and Emily, two sisters who are roommates in the same building, and who both have recently exited their own unhealthy relationships. Felix, however is pretty insecure as he still has feelings for Ashley, which contrasts with the fact Oscar feels better off away from his ex, this except when Gaby threatens to take away their kids in case Oscar doesn't pay alimony on time. Oscar also holds poker games regularly, with two of the players being Teddy, his agent, and Roy, one of his best friends.

Production

Development and filming

Matthew Perry is a self-confessed fan of The Odd Couple, most precisely the 1968 film version, which will serve as the main source of inspiration for the revived series.^[32] Perry had been pitching the idea to the networks since the late 2000s, expecting the show for 2010. However, executives passed on it, and Perry turned into another production, NBC's Go On which was canceled after one season. Thereafter, Perry began concentrating on his pet project once again, being finally picked up by CBS in late 2013.

Perry and Danny Jacobson began developing the updated take on Neil Simon's classic as a multi-camera comedy at the network. Perry and Jacobson are co-writing the CBS Television Studios-based half-hour, with Perry attached to play the Oscar role. Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman of Timberman-Beverly Productions and Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum of The Tannenbaum Co. will also serve as executive producers on the project, which has a penalty attached.^[33] On February 25, 2014, CBS ordered a pilot co-written by Perry and Joe Keenan.^[34] On May 9, 2014, CBS ordered the pilot to series for a 13-episode season scheduled for a mid-season premiere.^[35][36]

Casting

On February 28, 2014, Sarah Baker who previously worked with Perry on Go On was cast for a role for the pilot playing Oscar's assistant.^[37] On March 13, 2014, Thomas Lennon was cast opposite Perry as Felix.^[38] The Michael J. Fox Show star Wendell Pierce was cast as a buddy partner for Oscar for the pilot on March 14, 2014.^[39] Georgia King was cast as a female lead on March 17, 2014.^[40] Lindsay Sloane was cast for the pilot on March 21, 2014.^[41] Following the series order, both Baker and King dropped out and subsequently the network was recasting the roles as of May 13, 2014.^[42] On August 8, 2014, it was announced that Yvette Nicole Brown was cast to succeed Baker as Oscar's assistant Dani^[43] - though the role had been downgraded to recurring^[44] to allow for her role on the upcoming season of Community. However shortly after announcing on August 30, 2014 that she was leaving Community due to a family emergency,^[45] she was upgraded to a series regular role on October 6, 2014.^[46] On September 10, 2015, it was announced that Teri Hatcher was cast as a recurring character named Charlotte, who's a new love interest for Oscar.^[7]
